Government should keep its distance from energy lobbies

Comment

It is evident that the previous masters of the, not that long ago privatised, nuclear industry in the UK are still running the show at the energy and business department. I am not against nuclear, it should be part of the mix, but these guys have tried to kill off renewable energy at every turn in the past few decades - and they have the ear of the minister directly. I found a copy of the Engineer from 1980's recently - front page 'Tidal power the next big thing? ' Funnily enough we have yet to see any full scale projects. The latest victory being quashing large scale solar in the UK.
